At Kentucky State University, Study Abroad means international teaching, learning, research, and service opportunities that may be offered and completed in fall, winter, spring, or summer semesters, either credit-based or non-credit-based. Types of Study Abroad programs include:

  • University-led or faculty-led programs,
  • Third-party programs, and
  • Individual direct enrollment programs.

Students may earn credits/grades towards their degree for required or elective courses offered by KSU. Transcripts of foreign courses may be evaluated by an authorized education service agency or through a course or programs articulation agreement between KSU and international partner institutions. The Office of International Affairs provides guidance and consultation for developing international programs and university-wide Study Abroad advising. The Office develops Study Abroad opportunities to provide a wide variety of support services to study/teach abroad, conduct field research, and participate in service-learning programs or internships.
